DHS makes this sound like it's not a done deal, but if it is, I expect a massive spike in the sale of Chromebooks.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/dhs-bans-laptops-large-electronics-europe-u-s-flights-article-1.3153743?cid=bitly …

Everyone is a target for hw-level backdooring. Don't be suprised when it gets leaked. Network hardware already hacked.

No, backdooring has to balance risk of getting caught (both criminal liability and revealing your backdooring technique).
-
Deanonimization is still an issue - connects your devices' MAC to your passport.
-
Are there still systems not doing mac randomization?
-
Also, only backdoor "scrubbed" laptops - with a freshly installed OS and properly erased discs. Those are the suspicious ones.
-
They're also the ones belonging to people who will immediately RE your backdoors or hand the laptop over to someone who will.
-
So, the hunt for the first DHS tampered laptop is on! I expect a big "it wasn't us, it was the Russians" on discovery :-)
-
Yes, I expect it to happen. Just don't expect them to give away their secrets to anybody who flies with a laptop.

Already considering moving my laptop setup to that since I don't like inability to easily remove/extract/recover onboard eMMC.
